Uranium Production And Raw Materials For The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Supply And Demand Economics The Environment And Energy Security

Proceedings of an International Synposium on Uranium production and raw materials for the nuclear fuel cycle supply and demand, economics, the environment and energy security organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency in cooperation with the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, the World Nuclear Association, the Nuclear Energy Institute and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, held in Vienna, 20-24 June 2005. With Corrigendum (1p.: 30 cm)

This IAEA symposium is a third in a series which began in 2000 to discuss issues related to uranium raw materials. The symposia covered all areas of the uranium production cycle including uranium geology, exploration, mining; milling and refining of uranium concentrates; and safety, environmental, social, training and regulatory issues and reported on uranium supply and demand, and market scenarios.

Uranium for Nuclear Power: Resources, Mining and Transformation to Fuel discusses the nuclear industry and its dependence on a steady supply of competitively priced uranium as a key factor in its long-term sustainability. A better understanding of uranium ore geology and advances in exploration and mining methods will facilitate the discovery and exploitation of new uranium deposits. The practice of efficient, safe, environmentally-benign exploration, mining and milling technologies, and effective site decommissioning and remediation are also fundamental to the public image of nuclear power. This book provides a comprehensive review of developments in these areas. Provides researchers in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle Presents a comprehensive and systematic coverage of geology, mining, and conversion to fuel, alternative fuel sources, and the environmental and social aspects Written by leading experts in the field of nuclear power, uranium mining, milling, and geological exploration who highlight the best practices needed to ensure environmental safety

"The International Symposium on Uranium Raw Material for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Exploration, Mining, Production, Supply and Demand, Economics and Environmental Matters (URAM-2018) was held in Vienna on 25-29 June 2018. The purpose of the symposium was to analyse uranium supply-demand scenarios and to present and discuss new developments in uranium geology, exploration, mining, milling and processing, as well as environmental requirements for uranium operations and site decommissioning. This publication provides a summary of the conference, keynote presentations, the major findings and conclusions of the sessions, and the opening and closing addresses. The accompanying supplementary files, available on-line, include the individual technical papers" --from the Foreword.

These proceedings present the outcome of an IAEA symposium covering all areas of the uranium production cycle -- including uranium geology, exploration, mining; milling and refining of uranium concentrates; and safety, environmental, social, training and regulatory issues -- and report on uranium supply and demand, and market scenarios. The meeting demonstrated that uranium industry and practitioners were taking a lead in developing innovative solutions in exploration and production which are expected to keep the costs low, while achieving high performance in health, safety and environmental performance. New initiatives like innovative financing, 'smart mines', integrated exploration, and 'wealth from wastes' were extensively discussed in the symposium. The publication includes the summaries of the individual sessions, the opening address, a summary of the panel discussion, the closing keynote addresses and the conference president's concluding remarks. The technical papers based on the majority of the oral and poster papers are available on the CD-ROM in the back of this book.

The book presents the results from the Uranium Mining and Hydrogeology Conference (UMH VI) held in September 2011, in Freiberg, Germany. The following subjects are emphasised: Uranium Mining, Phosphate Mining and Uranium recovery. Cleaning up technologies for water and soil. Analysis and sensor for Uranium and Radon and Modelling.

Explores the history and challenges of nuclear energy development in China, across five main areas: politics, economics, environment, technology transfer and the nuclear fuel cycle. It emphasizes the political challenges in developing a set of long-term national strategies to ensure speedy, safe and secure nuclear energy development.
